ALL RIGHT, SHAUN CHAIYABHAT THANK YOU. AND THIS WAS THE SCENE RIGHT HERE THAT CREATED ALL THIS EMOTION. I MEAN, YOUNG KIDS, SOME EVEN IN CRIBS BEING TREATED AT THE KINDERCARE LEARNING CENTER. THEY WERE THEN WHEELED OUT IN STRETCHERS AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. DAY CARE IS LOCATED ON GOLDEN ROD ROAD NEAR UNIVERSITY. ERIC SANDOVAL IS THERE LIVE FOR US TONIGHT. ERIC, HARD TO WATCH ALL THOSE KIDS GETTING PULLED OUT OF THERE TODAY. I KNOW YOU TALKED TO SOME OF THE PARENTS TONIGHT. YEAH, IT'S BEEN A VERY EMOTIONAL DAY FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED, ESPECIALLY THE PARENTS WHO HAD BEEN WAITING UPWARDS OF TWO HOURS TO TRY TO FIND OUT HOW THEIR KIDS WERE AT THE TIME. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE SCENE RIGHT BEHIND ME. THIS IS THE KINDERCARE WHERE THIS HAPPENED. THIS IS THE CLOSEST WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ALL DAY TODAY. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY PUT PLYWOOD OVER THE HOLE OF THIS WALL THAT THIS CAR PLOWED THROUGH EARLIER TODAY. AND ALSO STUFFED ANIMALS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN AS A MEMORIAL TO THE PERSON WHO DIED TODAY. THIS IS A QUIET STREET. 3 O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON, HIGHWAY PATROL TROOPERS SAY ANOTHER CAR HIT THIS TOYOTA SOLAA SENDING IT CRASHING INTO THIS WINTER PARK KINDERCARE. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL, 50 KIDS WERE PLAYING. WE HAVE HEARD SOME TIRES SCREECHING. WORKING AT THE GAS STATION NEXT DOOR WHEN HE SAW THE CAR PLOW THROUGH THE SCHOOL. HE ALSO SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KIDS INSIDE. THE ONES THAT I DID SEE, SEEN BLOODING COMING OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS. MOUTHS HIT SOMETHING OR WHATEVER. THEY WERE BLEEDING OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS. OTHER ONES THAT WEREN'T MOVING AT ALL. FHP INVESTIGATORS SAY ONE CHILD WAS PINNED BY THE CAR AND HAD TO BE EXTRICATED. PARENTS WHO HEARD ABOUT THE CRASH ON THE NEWS AND ONLINE RAN TO THE CENTER TO MAKE SURE THEIR KIDS WERE OKAY. SOME LEFT DEVASTATED AS THEY WERE ESCORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. OTHERS WERE REUNITED. IT WAS ABOUT AN HOUR THERE WHERE I DIDN'T KNOW. INVESTIGATORS EVENTUALLY FOUND THE CAR THEY THINK WAS BEHIND THE CRASH OUTSIDE THIS WINTER PARK HOME. THEY COULDN'T FIND THE DRIVER WHICH PROMPTED A MASSIVE MAN HUNT. BACK AT THE DAY CARE, FHP TROOPERS FIND THEMSELVES REFLECTING ON WHAT THEY CALL A VERY TRAGIC DAY. YOU FEEL JUST AS BAD, YOU KNOW, TELLING THEM YOUR CHILD HAS BEEN INJURED AS THEY DO. SO YOU TAKE IT TO HEART. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT. NOW, BACK OUT HERE LIVE YOU CAN SEE THE CANDLES AND STUFFED ANIMALS HAD BEEN BROUGHT OUT BY NEIGHBORS AND PEOPLE WHO LIVE AROUND HERE, VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE KIDS HERE AT THIS DAY CARE EARLIER TODAY. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR THAT ACTUALLY CRASHED INTO THIS DAY CARE WAS NOT INJURED. THAT IS PERHAPS THE MOST MIRACULOUS STORY OF THIS. HE STAYED HERE MOST OF THE AFTERNOON. HE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH INVESTIGATORS TRYING TO PINPOINT WHO THAT SUSPECT IS THAT YOU MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW, MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE EVENTS THAT UNFOLDED CAUSING HIM TO GO INTO THIS KINDERCARE. DEFINITELY A STORY WE WILL BE FOLLOWING AND PROBABLY TRY TO GET FROM HIM TO HEAR IN HIS OWN WORDS WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED HERE ON GOLDEN ROD TO SEND HIM INTO THIS DAY CARE.
